Solar panel auto tracking system.

It is a system which places the solar panels high on a structure and tracks them toward the sun all day a technology which provides dual axis tracking so the bifacial solar panels always face directly to the sun. Installing axle through base. We wanted to implement a system that was small scale low cost easy to use and that would provide information about efficiency to teach new solar operators about solar panel operation. This 500 watt array is 50kg 110lb.

A solar tracking system maximizes your solar system s electricity production by moving your panels to follow the sun throughout the day which optimizes the angle at which your panels receive solar radiation. Called active solar trackers most of these systems are expensive require precise calibration and are designed only for massive arrays of solar panels. Here s a quick run down of how the solar system is going to work. Mounts are used to attach solar panels to the roof ground or another surface on your property.

Wattsun only recommended for large scale commercial installs a solar panel mount or solar racking system is the foundation that holds your solar array in place. In this project for less than 100 we added sun tracking to a 500 watt solar array. Auto tracking will double the energy output of your solar panels. A complete solar tracking system usually includes single or dual axis solar tracker controller box linear actuator bracket and remote control.

With proper installation a sturdy mount secures your panels in harsh weather and protects your investment. Auto sun tracking for solar panels. Solar trackers are typically used for ground mounted solar panels and large free standing solar installations like solar trees. Portable solar auto tracking system step 2.

Production from a dual axis solar tracker will be at least 140 higher than roof mounted solar panels.
